Features to know about
Built for Heavy 5th Wheel Loads: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is built tough for serious towing. Rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load, it’s designed for hauling large fifth wheels with confidence. The heavy-duty steel frame and carbide powder coat finish stand up to long highway runs, while the solid build keeps everything feeling steady and secure mile after mile.
Quiet, Secure Connection: Interlocking Dual Jaws with 360-Degree Contact
The interlocking 2-jaw system wraps completely around the king pin to create full 360-degree contact. That tight fit means less movement than slide-bar hitches and a quieter ride overall. By locking in solidly, the jaws help reduce rattle and chucking that can wear on both truck and trailer during long hauls.
Smooth, Controlled Ride: Fully Articulating Torsion Head with 360-Degree Pivot
You’ll notice how smooth it feels when you pull away. The torsion head pivots on a spherical axial bearing that allows full 360-degree movement. It absorbs road shock and towing noise so the ride feels calm and controlled even over rough terrain. This design helps keep the trailer tracking straight behind you while easing stress on your setup.
Easy Turns in Tight Spots: S25 Non-Binding Slider with 12" Travel
The S25 slider provides up to 12" of fore/aft travel to give you the clearance you need during slow-speed turns. Its non-binding design moves smoothly in both directions and automatically latches, so you only need to exit the truck once. It’s built for controlled maneuvering when space gets tight, helping protect your truck and trailer from contact during sharp turns.
Quick Setup and Removal: Simple Mounting with One-Pin Head Release
Installation is straightforward with the included base rails and mounting kit. When it’s time to clear out the bed, just pull a single pin to lift off the head—one person can handle it without special tools. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication easy, and the included plastic lube plate keeps things moving smoothly every time you hitch up.

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails. Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed. And they provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel hitch installation. Now, when these rails are used with the CURT's Custom Mounting Brackets, which we sell separate on a website, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch.
We mentioned the finish on this. I'm gonna zoom in and sort of show it. It's a carbide black finish, sort of like a matte black finish, so it matches the finish if you use it on the CURT Q5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch. Now, these rails are universal, so they will work with the following fifth wheel hitches. They work with the CURT brand, the Draw-Tite, the Hidden Hitch, the Reese, and even the Husky.
This part here will include the two base rails. Now, we mentioned the mounting brackets, the custom mounting brackets, the hardware, and an installation kit is all sold separately. The length on these rails, if we put a tape measure on them from one end to the other, right at 43 inches long. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails.

The price was good. The instructions were fair (the diagram and instructions were misleading, and you couldn't tell where the actual bolt and bolt hole were placed). Delivery was good, Packaging was good, The design is flawed and almost impossible to do! It says about 90 minutes to install by someone experienced, 180 minutes for installation by someone that is mechanically inclined. 9 hours later I finished. There are a couple of bolts on the driver side that are almost impossible to install! I don't know what they were thinking. Trying to get a torque wrench anywhere near it? If they just extended the bracket an inch or 2 it would be a world of difference. I put this on a short bed, but I still think these bolts are not in a good place. I couldn't even get an open-end wrench on it!

I bought a 2019 Ram truck and contacted Reese needing a tiedown kit for the 20,000 pound hitch I already owned as the tiedowns from my old Dodge truck was different. They told me I would have to buy a new hitch (around $2,000) as there was not a tiedown kit for the new style frame on my Ram truck.
I shopped around and got the same answer, finally talking to a etrailer associate, as I had found online a 20,000 lb Curt hitch for$850.00, I was ready to order but carried on the conversation informing him of my situation with the Reese hitch, he said let me check on something first. He came back with good news he could sell me a kit that would fit the rails he had and they would fit the Reese hitch I had. $xx.xx I was a little skeptical but he assured me the kit would work. It was a easy installation with the parts they furnished.
Upon installing the kit I found the rails from my Reese hitch would work with the kit, I contracted etrailer and they said they would issue a refund for the rails when I returned them, the refund was issued in a very short time.
etrailer is the first place I talk about when visiting with other trailer owners about parts needed. We owned 3 campgrounds in Minnesota I wish I had know about had known about etrailer at that time.

Very good hitch, I'm pleased with durability and ease of use. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the base locking pins that are slightly smaller than the holes they fit in and make the trailer "clunk" when taking off or stopping.

See what our Experts say about this CURT 5th Wheel Hitch
- Recommended Anderson Ultimate Hitch for a 2018 Ram 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System Hey Sam! If your Ram truck has the factory puck system you won't need a set of rails to install an Anderson Hitch. The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck version item # 3220 will attach directly to the gooseneck ball. If you're looking at one that attaches to 5th wheel rails you'll have to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C29BR. This adapter connects to the factory pucks and provides a platform to attach a 5th wheel hitch. What kind of 5th...

The only thing you would need is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and for that I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 because of the dual locking jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin therefore making for a smooth ride. This Reese...

view full answer... - Correct Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 is part # C16430-204. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit is a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required into the frame. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is my recommendation because of the interlocking dual jaw system which has a tight grip on the king pin and works to reduce chucking and jarring.

Your truck has a bed height of just over 20 inches so I will recommend some 5th wheel hitches that are adjustable to under 3 inches of that 20 inch mark that you're looking for. The most economical option for your Ram is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch # C16115 with the Curt Base Rails # C16430-204. This features the Slide Bar Jaw to secure your king pin and has a Gross Towing Weight of 16,000 lbs. The next step up is...

Reese's parent company is currently going through bankruptcy and a federal fraud investigation so most of their parts are not in-stock or available. For your 2024 Ram 3500, I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit item # C16430-204. This kit includes custom fit brackets that install in pre-drilled holes in your Ram's frame. The 5th wheel rails are industry standard...

For Curt base rails you can choose from the following based on the finish: -Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram - Glossy Black # C16430-104 -Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram - Carbide Finish # C16430-204 Do you already have a 5th wheel hitch or are you looking for one? These are ISR rails so you can use any hitch that fits the industry standard.

For that the Curt custom fifth wheel rail kit part # C16430-204 would work great. It's a confirmed fit for your truck and also fits the standard above bed style fifth wheel hitches like you most likely have.

We do offer a rail kit that will fit your 1996 Ram 3500. For that you can use the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram - Carbide Finish # C16430-204 This will fit as long as your truck does not have the OEM puck system. If you do have the puck system, you will need to use the # C29BR rail adapter instead.

Does in install to industry standard 5th wheel rails? If so, there are options for mounting it in a new Ram 3500. If your Ram already has the OEM puck system in the bed, you can use the Adapter Rails # C29BR to mount your PullRite hitch in the bed. If your Ram does not have the OEM puck system, you can install a rail kit like the Curt # C16430-204 to put a set of industry standard rails in your bed. I...

The standard way is installing above bed rails # C16430-204 to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch # C55DR if you have a 6-1/2' bed, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch # C16140 if you have an 8' bed. If having the permanently installed above bed rails is a buzz kill for you, then another option is installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1320-5W will allow you to install...

Please note the front rail uses 2 longer carriage bolts and the 8 shorter bolts are used in the other rail mounting locations.

The hitch will drop into the pucks and you will then turn and lock the handles in place to secure it but there is no other hardware required for this.

- Comparing Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch With Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ram 3500The Curt A16 # C16120 and Reese # RP30047 are both quality fifth wheel hitches that have a 16,000 lb capacity and dual jaw system but there are a couple of noticeable differences. The Curt A16 has a fully articulating head while the Reese has a head which only pivots 4 ways. The A16 also has a handy indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow, which is a convenience feature the Reese hitch does not offer.

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2014 Ram 3500 Long-bed to Tow 15.5K TrailerYou are starting off well by using a long-bed 1-ton pickup to pull your 5th wheel. This is the ideal type of truck for 5th wheels since long beds naturally provide good turning clearance and have the muscle to pull heavy trailers. But in terms of the hitch I do recommend using a higher-rated hitch that provides you with some safety margin. You could use a 16K hitch with a 15.5K trailer but you will certainly find you will get a longer working lifespan from a hitch rated for a higher weight. If...

You will need a 5th wheel hitch, a set of industry standard rails, and a sidewinder pin box. A sliding hitch will not work.

Both hitches are high quality, and would offer you a secure, relatively smooth ride. For the Curt hitch, use the # C16430-204 rail kit or for the B&W Patriot, use # BWRVK2605. My only issue with bed rail mounted hitches is the fact that the rails remain in the bed when you're not using the hitch. If you don't use the...

If your truck is either a short or long bed you will want the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16426-204. In either bed length the king pin will be centered above the rear axle.

The custom fit rail kit uses mounting holes in the frame with custom brackets to connect the above bed rails.

For standard base rails you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-204 for your 2018 Ram 2500. This is a custom kit so you won't need to drill into the frame of your truck for the installation. Then for a 5th wheel hitch I recommend checking out the Curt A25 Slider # C35DR for a short bed or Fixed # C86BV for a long bed. I really like the A series hitches because they have interlocking jaws and a fully articulating torsion head so...

Because of this we typically recommend a sliding hitch to prevent this from happening. For a sliding version of the Q25 you would need parts # C35DR and # C16022. Newer model trailers...
